Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. (NASB95)

 

We are all called to fight the good fight of faith. It is one that we win! Here the good fight is “the fight”—it extends the Kingdom of God and brings His glory. It is the fight that God initiates. It is the fight ordained for us. But how do we win? First, we must believe that God is. Before moving into the Bible’s definition of faith, I want to lay some foundation on what this phrase means. God is not a “was,” a “now,” or an “is-going-to-be” God. He just is. Second, we have to believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. We cannot seek God and waste our time. Never! We cannot seek God and suffer loss. There is nothing more rewarding, rich, and beneficial in every way than seeking God. What we get out of it is immeasurable in its value. Not only does it bless us, but we then become a river of blessing to other people!
